From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx> Commit f1c6366e3043 ("KVM: SVM: Add required changes to support intercepts under SEV-ES") prevents hypervisor accesses guest register state when the guest is running under SEV-ES. The initial value of vcpu->arch.guest_state_protected is false, it will not be updated in preemption notifiers after this commit which means that the kernel spinlock lock holder will always be skipped to boost. Let's fix it by always treating preempted is in the guest kernel mode, false positive is better than skip completely.
